With the relocation of its company headquarters to Nufringen, the company expanded its production capacity.
A short time later, it launched the production of components manufactured by machining semi-finished products.
At the end of 1977, Ensinger was able to dispatch its first series-produced thermal insulating bars made of glass fibre-reinforced polyamide 6.6 to manufacturers of aluminium windows.
A second production plant erected in Cham (Bavaria) in 1980 enabled series production of insulating profiles and other product lines.
Another pillar was created in 1985 with the launch of the injection moulding division.

What is now the biggest of the company's subsidiaries was established in 1986 in Washington, Pennsylvania.
Over the following years, Ensinger founded a large number of additional foreign subsidiaries in Europe, South America and Asia.

Wilfried Ensinger's commitment to the family-owned company which he founded, Ensinger, goes hand in hand with his commitment to the community.
The aims behind his foundation, established in 1998, also share this sense of commitment: the long term support of social, academic and cultural projects.

The areas of promotion
The first area promoted by the foundation is the support of international aid projects whose objective is a self-help approach.
The promotion of cultural themes within the regions closely located to Ensinger is another area of activity for the foundation.
The third area has arisen due to the recent recognition of a predictable development: the increasing shortage of skills in high-tech mid-sized businesses such as Ensinger.

The University of Stuttgart has awarded him the distinction of becoming an honourable senator.
